Happy Birthday Card with Herb Expressions

TGIF friends, I hope your day is wonderful. I am going to work today so have to get this post done quick. Oh shoot, why does this stamp set have to be on the discontinued list? This is another card I made with the Top Note Die and just turning it once and matching up the points and put it through the Big Shot again. I textured it with the Finial Press Texture folder that will be discontinued also. Isn't this card just beautiful and sweet? I think so.

Here are the details:
Stamp Sets: Herb Expressions, Family Reunion
Card Stock: Regal Rose, Pear Pizzazz , Whisper White
Inks: Black Stazon, Pear Pizzazz Marker, So Saffron Ink Pad and Marker,  Regal Rose Ink Pad and Marker.
Accessories: Big Shot, Top Note Die, Finial Press Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, Modern Label Punch, Regal Rose 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon, Sponge, Dimensionals.


So that is my post for today. I have to get to work but have a great day and let me know how you like if this card. Also contact me if you have any questions. Thanks for stopping by. Hugs, Bev

Mother's Day card with Herb Expressions

Hi stamping friends, I am sitting home today with ice on my knee from working in my garden last night digging up weeds. I caught my foot into a little hole and got turned and it stretched my knee. OUCH! I used my shovel as a crutch as I could hardly walk back to my house. I came in and put ice on it but it is still swollen and sore. I knew I wouldn't be able to be on it all day so I didn't go to work.

I wanted to share with you this card I made for my Mom for Mother's day. I just love it. What, am I showing you a new die? No, it isn't a new die or a new punch in fact it is an old old die which is the Top Note Die and I put it through the die to cut out the top note and then turned it one direction matching up the points and then after putting it through the Big Shot I turned it again and I came up with this darling shape. Don't you just love it? Okay, I will confess it wasn't my idea. I got the idea from Kim Van Diepen.  On this card I used the darling darling set Herb Expressions that I will never part with because it is one of my favorite sets and it has inside verses for cards plus beautiful flower bouquets. I will show you another card I made with it later.  I textured the Clear Circle Die with the Manhattan Flower Texture Folder and then used my markers to color in the bouquet. It turned out so pretty and just what I wanted for my wonderful Mom. These were colors from the Color Coach. So beautiful I think. Don't you?


Here are the details:
Stamp Sets: Herb Expressions, Delightful Dozen
Card Stock: Elegant Eggplant, Lucky Limeade, Wisteria Wonder, Whisper White
Inks: Black Stazon, Lucky Limeade Ink Pad and Marker, Wisteria Wonder Marker, Elegant Eggplant Marker, Old Olive Marker
